Classic Stuffed Turkey Recipe

"For years, my mother has stuffed a holiday turkey with this moist dressing," comments Kathi Graham of Naperville, Illinois. "Now I do the same thing. Its special flavor nicely compliments the tender, juicy slices of oven-roasted turkey."

Directions

1.In a large skillet, saute the onions, celery and mushrooms in butter until tender. Add broth and seasonings; mix well. Place bread cubes in a large bowl; add mushroom mixture and toss to coat. Stir in enough warm water to reach desired moistness.

2. Just before baking, loosely stuff turkey. Place any remaining stuffing in a greased baking dish; cover and refrigerated until ready to bake. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush with melted butter.

3. Bake turkey, uncovered, at 325° for 3-3/4 to 4-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180° for the turkey and 165° for the stuffing, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)

"I made my very first Thanksgivingdinner in 1998 using this recipe. I have made it every year since. The original page from TOH is folded, worn, stained and tucked away in my one of my cookbooks until next Thanksgiving. I love that this recipe has become my tradition and everyone looks forward to it.

I also love that the woman who submitted the recipe and I are from the same home town."

"This tastes just like my mom's stuffing! A friend made it, and just cooked it outside the turkey. The difference was, she used 2-3 cans of broth. It came out moist and tasting as if it had been stuffed into the turkey. I tried my mom's recipe for stuffing once or twice, but when I made it, it didn't taste the same. I don't know why not. But this recipe takes me right back in time!"

"When using day old bread instead of bread cubes how much do I use? I wanted to try this recipe for Thanksgiving this year so I honestly couldn't rate it."
